Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- How many courses
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Ockham
Do you come out to small places like Ockham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Ockham close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
